DEATH OF THE REV. R. CARR. Born Ahalahana 1853
Taken from 1 June 1895 Freeman’s Journal,
The Rev. R. Carr, who died at Chiltern, Diocese of Sandhurst, last week, was a native of the County of Kerry, and was born near Listowel. He was educated at All Hallows Missionary College, Drumcondra, Dublin, and shortly after his ordination came to Australia. His first field of labour was in the Diocese of Goulburn, where he was for a considerable time inspector of Catholic schools. Subsequently (says the Melbourne Advocate) he became attached to the Diocese of Bendigo, and was appointed by the Bishop to the pastoral charge of the important parish of Nagambie, where he laboured with the energy and zeal of a devoted missionary until two years ago, when he was appointed to Chiltern. For a considerable time he had been in delicate health. Brief as was his residence in Chiltern, he was much esteemed by all classes of the community for his broad-minded charity, his tolerant views, and, above all, for his genuine and unassuming piety. At the time of his death Fr. Carr was about 45 years of age. He was a brother of Dr. Carr, physician, at present residing in the Western district, but formerly of South Melbourne, and was a nephew of an Irish priest who was rather famous in his day for his good works and patriotism, the Rev. Richard Walsh, who was twenty-seven years parish priest of Thomond-gate, Limerick, and afterwards P.P. of Rathkeale, in the same diocese,
POPE Francis Message for World Day of Peace 2014 is here: www.catholicbishops.ie/2013/12/12/popes-message-world-day-prayer-peace-1-january-2014/. It focuses on fraternity as the foundation and pathway to Peace. Fraternity – sibling or brotherly love: “needs to be discovered, loved, experienced, proclaimed and witnessed to. But only love, bestowed as a gift from God, enables us to accept and fully experience fraternity.
THOUGHT: It is an awesome, challenging thought. The Lord comes to us in our friends. What we do and are to them is an expression of what we are to Him.
